Uh hang on a minute, I recognise those trees as they are where I live. Top one is in a garden, a mature ash with a TPO also within conservation area, it's a had some big cracks in limbs overhanging the road so I think it was reduced like that to make it safe. I am pretty sure I know the firm.

Second pic is a council tree just on the conservation area boundary, Hunts District Council whacked it a couple of years ago. It was overhanging the house, I know the people and they complained but everyone was a bit shocked after the council left. That one is just properly outrageous, I can't think it won't decay.

So you know for a fact the same company did all those trees that you photographed?

No I don’t - the first ones for sure because all four trees down the road all done at the same time, the other two were done separately.It is just such a shame that someone has there tree butchered for whatever reason, and then a neighbour thinks that they must do something to their tree too, so points and says “can you make my tree smaller, ...like that one!” As if it’s now a good looking tree and they would feel good to have one too!
